Helter skelter economics. Trump's impulsive moves on tariffs have cost investors about $6 trillion. And the slide isn't over while everyone tries to predict what he'll do next. How low can it go?

Another day, another plummet in the stock market. Sunday, I watched the smug billionaires in Trump’s administration like Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, telling us not to worry. Whatever we've lost we'll be getting back - eventually. Read more at

This is how an oligarchy works.

The potential new revenue stream for Mr. Musk’s company comes after he donated nearly $300 million to support the 2024 campaign of Mr. Trump as he sought a return to the White House.

Republican leaders are telling their representatives not to hold any more town halls so as not to have to face constituents angry about Trump's actions. Protest is working. Keep it up.

Why does Trump want Canada to become the 51st state? Certainly not for its sake or for the sake of its people. I suspect he wants their oil. Black gold. Canada has the third largest oil reserves in the world and is the world's fourth largest oil producer...

Surprised? You shouldn't be.
